I love this site so much! Thanks for all of the laughs guys. This attack-and-then-attack harder part of our culture really bums me out. Thankfully Giantbomb will continue on stronger than ever!
I also blocked a lot more people on twitter today, so my feed is going to be much more pleasant.
I think Brad is a really nice guy. I only wish he didn't curse quite so much. Pretty much any content with Brad in it can't be watched when my son is awake. It has been fun to watch his gaming obsessions progress over the years. I sometimes miss Starcraft obsessed Brad a bit though.
@jertje: Have fun with the video card shopping! Also, good luck with any possible case modding. :-) My new card was just long enough to make it. It was very close!
@jertje: another reason I think the problem would be fixed with a new GPU is that the rest of your rig is more than competent to run the game maxed out. My poor 560 just couldn't cut it on higher detail levels.
I had the exact same problem as you did with Titanfall. I ended up selling my 560 on Amazon and replacing it with a 760FTW. The game is now butter smooth and constant 60FPS on very high. For me it was certainly the video card.
Before I replaced my 560, I had to dial down the resolution to 920p and play on low settings to get decent FPS. Now that I can play with higher detail and smooth FPS, I've actually gotten pretty decent at playing the game. Haha!
Thanks for the responses everybody. I hadn't thought about the possibility of the 800 cards launching soon. I think it might be best to wait a bit and see what happens there.
The Crysis 2 comparisons were very useful. I think it would be a pretty good upgrade if I do I with this card. I'm currently running an i5 processor with 3.3 ghz and 8GB of system ram. So I would hope to get a couple more years out of this rig with a new card.
I'm still rocking a EVGA GTX 560 with 1GB of VRAM. It is not handling Titanfall like I would want it to. This has been the first time I've needed to dial down my resolution to get playable FPS before. So I think I need a new card.
I've been looking at buying an EVGA GTX 760 with 4GB VRAM.
I wanted to find out what you guys think about this card. Is it a good enough upgrade to get my by for awhile? I really don't know where to start on this, so any help would be appreciated.
There are so many sketchy twitter accounts giving away codes if you follow them, retweet them, like their facebook page, watch their youtube videos, give them money, buy them drugs...its annoying!
